The next generation of full-size GM pickups and SUVs will be almost entirely free of hybrid models, according to GM Inside News. Scheduled to launch less than a year from now, the new lineup was originally slated to utilize an updated version of the current two-mode system. Now, it appears the next-generation Cadillac Escalade may be the only full-size ute to be hybridized.

GM wouldn’t comment on its hybrid full-size picks and SUVs coming to an end, only saying that the real-world benefits and financial viability of their entire portfolio of global and regional vehicle programs are periodically reviewed. As a result, “some technologies are pulled ahead, delayed, or cancelled. This is a normal course of business.”

Other sources inside GM have told C/D that the program for the next-gen full-size truck and SUV lineup—including the Tahoe and Yukon SUVs and Silverado and Sierra pickups—is focusing on evolutionary development in chassis refinement, driving dynamics, interior appointments, and comfort, rather than hybridized powertrains.
